Cannot add my daughter to the parental control

I have two daughters, who are already linked to my account of parent on the Xbox.  However, the new Family Safety site shows only one of them.

If I try to invite my other daughter, nothing happens.  The website says that she is sent an invitation, but it has not been sent one.  How can I complete my daughter?

  • Cannot add child account to the parental control

    No matter how many times I add my child account to watch safely from the family, it does not work. The account appears in the list of monitored accounts and has the correct options I selected via the Family Safety however website when my child connects his account said "this account is not monitored by parental control.

    I deleted the computer AND the child of the Family Safety options site. I uninstalled and reinstalled parental control over the child's laptop computer but the account is STILL without oversight and shows via the control panel in Windows 7.

    When I log on the site of Family Safety on that account child watch the monitored account as 'white' "computername" when "in white" should be the account on the laptop.

    I am a computer professional and cannot understand it. What other options do I have?

    ANSWER FOUND!

    I found the answer on a long search of these forums...

    I had this problem because the computer name was the same as the name of my child's account. I changed the name of the computer to another one of his account on the computer and I was able to successfully activate Parental controls through parental controls on the computer.

  • Standard user changes time clock to circumvent the time limits set in the parental controls, how to stop this?

    Original title: clock change

    I put deadlines for my daughter in the parental control. my daughter just changed the clock time to get around this. It has a standard user account and I have the password to the administrator account, which she could not possibly know that I keep changing. How does do and how can I stop this happening?

    The date and time system can be changed using a control panel applet - timedate.cpl file.

    If you have the administrator account, you can refuse his user account access to the said folder.

    1. go to start > type cmd > press and hold shift + Enter (this will open CMD with Admin Access)
    2. on your type CMD in the command below

    Cacls timedate.cpl /p : n

    3. press ENTER.

    The command will refuse access to user account in the file so that it could not change the time and date.

  • The user account cannot access the internet once parental used contract, even after you turn off the parental control

  • Error message when you use the parental controls in Win7: "Unable to change parental controls."

    (1) I try to use the supplied with Windows 7 parent controls. However, every time I make a change to a parental control, I get an error message that says: "cannot change parental controls. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator. »

    Often, once I have clear error message boxes, the changes I made are displayed as changed. Sometimes, however, they are not applied, making these useless parental controls.

    (2) I also have problems establishing parental control measures for one of my children. Whenever I try to open the parental controls for a user account, I get the same message, as described above, then the display returns to my administrator account and does not allow me to add parental controls or change them.

    (3) when he signed then, a message in the lower right corner indicates that it uses a 'temporary' account and that any changes he made will be saved. What is a temporary account, how it is created, and how it can be changed to a normal account?

    Hi Papa_Danno,

    Thank you for keeping us posted.

    If windows was pre installed on the computer, then you must contact the Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the same. If the Windows 7 installation disc was purchased directly from then you can contact Microsoft directly.

    I wish that you follow the steps in the article-

    Installation and reinstallation of Windows 7

    Note: Make sure that you back up all data on the computer before you perform a Clean Installation to avoid any data loss.

    Hope this helps!

  • Unable to connect to the parental control with existing Microsoft Account

    I can't connect to Windows Live Family Safety with my existing Microsoft Account.

    I enter the e-mail address and password and click the Sign In button, and then get an error message saying "the e-mail address or the password is incorrect."

    The e-mail and password are correct, then why can't connect? I used to be able to connect to OK.

    1. This happens on two different Windows 7 laptops. I rebooted, cleared history, etc., and this did not help.
    2. I checked the e-mail address and the password several times (case is correct, that shift caps lock is not on, etc.).
    3. My address e-mail/Microsoft account is not an address Outlook.com, Live.com or Hotmail.com - it's my own domain, something like<*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">
    4. The Microsoft Account works for all other applications and web sites on my computer Windows 7 mobile, phone Nokia Lumia 920, Lenovo ThinkPad 2 compressed (Win8).
    5. This Microsoft Account <*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">works very well for Office 365 Home Premium.

    Thank you

    And the solution is...

    Disable the verification of two steps in the security settings for information on live.com.

    The parental control client cannot authenticate because he cannot ask the authenticator application code. Can't Movie Maker or one of the other applications of Windows Essentials .

    Awareness in two steps of authentication must be added to the Windows Essentials applications.

  • Why should I Windows 8 for the 30 minute increments in the parental control?

    As a developer of software using languages and platforms of Microsoft, I understand how planning works in an application. Why should I upgrade to Windows 8 to get the opportunity to restrict access timed to a PC safe family 30 minutes increments? This is no logic, except if it is half cooked to inform users to upgrade. This is a feature I've wanted since we began using the parental control and I can only assume the developers actually do not use the product, they have created because it really shouldn't been missed for this long. It should also be a simple change in the code to check every 30 minutes instead of 60. Maybe the team of parental controls overlap or had their budget reduced to the point that they cannot make such a simple plus change. I understand, I am in the software. I know it's less than constructive but it's annoying to know different. It's annoying to 'upgrade' to 2012 Essentials see virtually no difference in the features. Your users are not YOU!

  • Which program to choose "Ask administrator for permission" on the Parental control

    I am the administrator and I have parental controls installed on user accounts for my children.  When they fall on a blocked Web site, one of the options is "Ask an administrator for permission."  When they click on this link, a dialogue, a box pops up saying "this link must be opened with an application" and asked them to browse and choose an application.  What application they should choose?  Now they must remember Web site, sign out of their account, have log in as administrator, add it to the approved list on parental controls, while I log out and they can log on and access the Web site.  It's crazy, especially doing reports of schools who may need to use things like sites of weapons that would be otherwise blocked.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial139.html

  • Download e-mail files attached despite the parental control

    I have Microsoft parental control set up on my computer of children. I tried to send an attachment through facebook and hotmail. Family safety has blocked them to download the attachment I sent. I looked in the family safety settings and can not find a place to allow downloading of attachments. Any ideas?

    Hi Sam,

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    1 have you blocked any of these sites in the parental control settings? If this is not the case, what happens when you try to download these attachments?

    2. What is the full/exact error message?

    You do not allow downloading attachments in particular, but you can allow Web sites. This problem can also occur if the antivirus program blocks downloads.

    I suggest you follow these steps to make sure that you have not blocked any of these specific sites or if you do not find in the blocked category, you can add this Web site to the authorized category and check the results.

    1. On any computer, go to the Family Safety website, and then sign in with the account of a parent's Microsoft.
    2. Under the name of the child you want to set the web content filtering, click on change settings.

    3. Click Web filtering lists.

    4. Type or paste the web address of the site on which you want to allow or block in the http:// text box and click on allow or block.

      You can use the drop-down list next to the text http:// box to allow or block a website for only the current child or several children or family members.

    If the problem persists, try to update the family safety filter settings to see if that helps.
